Raised in Southern California and transplanted to Oakland, Aly Jones shares her misadventures and neuroses with strangers and hopes to get their approval in the form of laughter. She also knows an uncomfortable amount of information about Pokemon for a grown woman. As a child, her parents hoped she would grow up to be a doctor or the president, and you can see how that turned out. Aly has performed in showcases all over the Bay Area, from Santa Rosa to Tracy, and co-produces the monthly show Fun Times with Friends in the Mission District of San Francisco. In addition to telling jokes, she writes for todaysassignment.tumblr.com, a blog with daily articles based on topics suggested by random folks. She incubates her joke eggs on Twitter as @theweakestbink and would love for you to help keep them warm.
